Hundreds of cables. Hundreds of hundreds of miles. The Internet works in lots of more ways than we realize or take into consideration, through a series of garden hose-sized pipes spread across the ocean floor. Without these pipes, the modern world would collapse. And the people answerable for their operation have larger, harder and weirder jobs than you may think.
Next, we confer with The Verge’s Tom Warren and Joanna Nelius about the next generation of personal computers, which Microsoft and others say can be vast improvements over anything we have seen before. Can Qualcomm finally produce the PC chip we have been waiting for? Is this really finally the yr of Windows on Arm? What the hell is an AI computer? We do all this and more.
Finally, Alex Cranz joins us to assist us answer an issue from the e-reader hotline. Because there are at all times interesting times in e-readers.
